The second version of Pandora's Box/ConcoctionMix, now with Wormwood built-in for better realism and slightly more cohesive images. More of a side-grade than an outright upgrade
Original name: CCM-a2-Vermouth.safetensors
This version's codename, Vermouth. follows upon the alcoholic drinks idea. There's been historical reports of people mixing wormwood into white wine, so this is a serendipity for the most part. I just like the name and idea.
# Changelog:
Added Wormwood and CCM-a1 into the model (through trainDifference merging)
More realism and realistic feel - partially countered by putting "realistic" and "photorealistic" into negatives.
Lost quite a bit of color during this. This can be fixed by using a different VAE than the one bundled in this model - WD1-4-kl-f8-anime2-bless09
Slightly better hands. In regular poses, hands are more solid and decent than before. Still fucks up in many cases
Surprisingly decent prompt comprehension - managed to recover the "centaur" tags
Worse area conditioning (until I can figure something out at least)
Styles still work pretty well (if you put any of the realism stuff into the negatives)
Both CLIP Skip 1 and 2 still works well
Sometimes forgets details, which I don't like that much
Even more complicated merging workflow - this is getting really hard to put in 1 image lol
